Nice guide, would prefer to remove the mandal and add a bk, you don't really need the mana leech as a wolf & Bk's +1 skills & 5 ll is more then welcome.

And Ebotdz isn't bad, 60ias, will give you decent frame & the 15ll is godly in pvm.

And I would might swap the string of ears vs a Verdungo for 40 Vitality, but indeed, strings LL is nice.

40 Vitality are fix 80 Life -.-°
A 2.handed weapon is in mpost of the cases wasted potencial of the wolf.

Btw... ML should be somewhere on the EQ :/
So if u really need a Manald for ML, then i'd keep it, but a BK offers now really nothing if u compare it to really good rings.

You bring up some good points Mors_Agni, most noted being the HOW versus oak. Perhaps it's just the PvPer in me that choses life over damage

Maxing HOW is an option though, a very good one, but I still prefer more life over more damage, oak is also more party friendly, everyone benefits from more life, but HOW is useless to many classes.

This one is up to the individual, and you will have one point into HOW, so you could always change to it if desired.

As for gear choices I know I missed many viable choices, especially armor. The one I should have included though is Goblin Toes, excellent choice, thanks for pointing those out.

Lance guard is also an interesting choice, the life and DS make it an interesting choice.

As for the two handed weapons, perhaps I should have included EBOTD greater poleaxe, and perhaps made a note of Buriza, but I felt that ribcracker was budget enough (they're fairly easy to get) and was the best choice as far as price went.

Insight and peace are good ideas as well, thank you for noting them.

Like you said Angelics would be useful at lower levels, I completely over looked this facet of play.

Thanks for the great feed back



EBOTDZ isn't bad but its price/performance ratio is. Also you need mana leech, so something on your gear needs it.

Dungos only gives 80 life, strings will serve you better.

Hm... a greater Poleaxe is ofc also an option, the Dex Reqs would be rather low.
Only difference: Range for the GPA and a bit more Damage for the GA.

Upped Buriza is really nice and something different, u will adapt to the low range fast.
U'll also stat Dex-as-Dex-can...


To the HoW vs. Oak:
Ofc you're right, it's again personal preference. I prefer the HoW because there are also a lot of TS Druids, and ehre i simply don't need a (lower) Oak

What's a TS druid?

I actually read a guide a while ago that was entirely based on Buriza, it's a fantastic weapon! It might be, again, my PvP bias that caused me to forget it

kk



I guess I'll have to think about which i'll put points on

Well, my Wolf have never drunk a mana pot, although it's pvp, but since my mana isn't moving when I uses fury I thought it wouldn't on a pvm either.

Anyhow, you got the creepers to swap between, you got one that heals you or one that heals your mana.

And indeed, a nice dual leech ring would be better then bk :-)

In PvM you're using fury a lot more then in PvP, also mana burn is a concern.

Solar creeper is an option, but I'd prefer to have leech on my gear, and spend the point elsewhere

Howabout Hunger? Even with the lower damage it should be plenty to leech Mana back in a few hits, and it's fast.

The problem with hunger is you need 3 prereqs for it and then the skill itself (4 points total) and you'd need to change to werebear and use it.

It's more effective to use a Nagel or other mana leech gear
